There will be an economic depression during Trump’s term with the way things are going.
You stole the money… you give it back.
From the article: If Donald Trump loses his Supreme Court fight over tariffs, the US may be forced to return “tens of billions of dollars to companies that have paid import fees this year, plus interest,” The Atlantic reported. And the longer the verdict is delayed, the higher the refunds could go, possibly even hitting $1 trillion.
For tech companies both large and small, the stakes are particularly high. A Trump defeat would not just mean clawing back any duties paid on imports to the US that companies otherwise can use to invest in their competitiveness. But, more critically in the long term, it would also end tariff shocks that, as economics lecturer Matthew Allen emphasized in a report for The Conversation, risked harming “innovation itself” by destabilizing global partnerships and diverse supply chains in “tech-intensive, IP-led sectors like semiconductors and software.”
Currently, the Supreme Court is weighing two cases that argue that the US president does not have unilateral authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Defending his regime of so-called “reciprocal tariffs,” Trump argued these taxes were necessary to correct the “emergency” of enduring trade imbalances that he alleged have unfairly enriched other countries while bringing the US “to the brink of catastrophic decline.”
Not everyone thinks Trump will lose. But after oral arguments last week, prediction markets dropped Trump’s odds of winning from 50 to 25 percent, Forbes reported, due to Supreme Court justices appearing skeptical.
Could the SCOTUS not just say that the tariffs are struck down going forward
Wait…is…that going to be my $2000 dollar Trump Tariff Refund check? That Trump said he would send??
Nutlick and his kids have bet big time on getting refunds and cashing in billions
Let’s hope these company’s didn’t make any deals to stay in business that would make them pay any refunds to someone else. Especially to anyone in the administration connected to the tariffs.

Well this definitely answers the age old question of what policy do conservatives value more? fiscal responsibility or trans high schoolers lmao
Any time a Republican wants to say the phrase “fiscal responsibility” you can just laugh directly in their face.
Take it from Krasnov’s crypto accounts, then arrest that fucking pedophile for trafficking children
Companies get money back. Consumers not so much. They will pocket the profit and leave prices where they are while they are at it.
But…we still paid those high Trump taxes.
So like pass the increase to the consumer and then refund to the corporation.
ok cool but what about the higher prices i’ve been paying? is anyone going to refund me for that? bc this is getting ridiculous
So companies get money back and the consumers who actually paid for the tariffs with price increases get nothing
There’s no chance they’ve collected a trillion in tariff revenue
And also fuck no they shouldn’t give it back. That money was passed onto consumers. If they reimbursed tariff payers that’s just handing a trillion dollars to the importers on top of what they charged us already and WE aren’t going to get a refund
That’s the peoples money now it belongs to the government to be spent on programs benefiting the people
This is stupid. SCOTUS is in his pocket. They will not rule against them.
I hope you’re proud of yourself America. You had a humming economy and then you go and put the Republicans in charge. Trump is damaging this country in so many ways. It’s hard to count.
So that companies will get a refund but the people aka consumers who laid those tariffs won’t? Are we insinuating those companies didnt pass that cost to the consumer? Even after this whole tariff ordeal are you they even going to lower prices back? This country is fucked. As long as we keep putting up with it, we deserve to eat shit.
Do you mean I am getting refunds for paying the tariffs? Because this sounds like one big scam to me. Tax me, then give the money to corporations.
All the small businesses and mom and pops who folded up or bankruptcied this year are rolling in their graves.
And what about all those promises about what the tarriff money will be used to fund?
This was planned. If cancelled there’s not enough cash.
So companies can pocket more gains while American people paid more for those products without any compensation? Am I reading that right?
Will they pass those on to the people that paid them? Probably not. Refund checks don’t necessarily go to we paid for them. Giving the back to companies doesn’t trickle down to the people that ultimately paid for them. So I say just let the government keep it and put it into the Social Security trust fund with a provision it cannot be loaned back to the government.
You think Trump’s upset now, think of what will happen when he has to payback and simultaneously add 2.5+ Trillion Dollars to the debt in 11 months. Just think how ridiculous this would be!
Only going to be corporation that get anything back, if anyone does. Yet another wealth transfer in the wrong direction.
I feel like this was the plan all along. Implement Tariffs and the American people pay them. Then refund the Tariff revenue back to the companies. Guess who wins in that scenario. It’s not me and you.
every republican is a pedo terrorist
Yo where is my $5000 doge check?
They can take a loan from Elon
Companies getting a massive payday when consumers footed the bill. This was the plan all along.
great not-a-tax 2.0, my wallet just can’t wait…..
Pretty certain they will find a reason to keep the tariffs in place *for now*.
Economic director said we only received $78b in tariffs.
So many pull it out my ass numbers
That’s a big if. I don’t think they can be trusted to do the right thing considering the crap they’ve pulled in the past.
Can we please go back to calling it the Supreme Court?
That money is gone, like gone gone. Even IF they can stop pleasuring the Orange maggot, not a single person that paid that will see it back.
What about the consumers?
Consumers won’t see any lol
They haven’t brought in anywhere near a trillion of our dollars. And that money will go back to the companies that paid it upfront, not the general public who paid it back to them already
